Member Services for Alliance Schools

Recruiting trips to China are organized for US colleges and universities—normally in December and May. Presidents, deans of admissions, and admissions officers are exposed to students in the finest high schools in China particularly in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Xi’an. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese students choose to study in the US each year, and GCA connects members with hundreds of those highly capable and English-speaking students who want to go abroad. In the spring of 2016 presidents from Methodist University and NC Wesleyan College travelled with GCA to China, and the Dean of Students of the UNC School of the Arts travels there in late May.
High school students who want to matriculate in the United States are given tours several times a year of GCA member schools.
Chinese and US faculty receive cross-training.
Student exchanges are executed, going both ways.
International summer tours are conducted.
In the fall of 2015 we launched a Chinese Fellowship Program that brings US college students to a top Chinese university for a January term, a semester, or a full academic year. The students’ travel, living, and food costs are fully paid for by the host university. Plus, the student receives a cash stipend.
Chinese students are taught leadership skills and business ethics at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business— through the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership and Ethics (COLE)
GCA continues to recruit and serve members so that education becomes an even more powerful force for good.
